Nolan Smith is likely to be waived by Galatasaray of the Turkish Basketball League.

Smith signed with the Turkish team in August, but was sent to Galatasaray's young team after a discussion with coach Ergin Ataman. The Duke alum is still just 26 years old, but the fact that he can't hook on overseas pushes him even further from a return to the NBA. Tue, Oct 21, 2014 09:32:00 AM

Nolan Smith has agreed to a deal with Galatasaray of the Turkish Basketball League.

The contract is pending a sponsor deal before it becomes official, but the Duke alum is all but certain to play his second season overseas after spending 2013-14 in Croatia. While Smith is still just 26 years old, his 84 games played with the Trail Blazers during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons will likely be the only NBA games he plays in his career.

Former Celtics guard Nolan Smith signed with Cedevita Zagreb of Croatia.

The Duke product was expected to join the Celtics for training camp, but that is no longer happening. Smith injured his calf in Orlando Summer League and is still a few weeks away from a full recovery. Sun, Aug 18, 2013 10:06:00 AM

Nolan Smith has a Grade-II calf straight and will be sidelined for six to eight weeks.

Smith has been wearing a walking boot and the timeline given would lead us to believe he's unlikely to be in basketball shape by the time training camp opens. Still, he doesn't appear to need surgery, which means he should be able to participate in camp. Wed, Jul 10, 2013 05:19:00 PM

Coach Brad Stevens said Isaiah Thomas' (groin) injury can usually be a 10-14 day thing.

In his press conference, Stevens made it clear the Celtics do not want to bring Thomas back too soon and have him aggravate it. He added it's certainly possible for Thomas to be back before the 10 days and said it's "not going to be a long-term thing." Stevens said IT being out will expedite the learning curves of Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier as well. Of course, Marcus Smart benefits the most here.
